Claire McCaskill: ‘At a loss’ to explain Todd Akin

Claire McCaskill said Friday that her GOP opponent makes Michele Bachmann “look like a hippie,” one day after Rep. Todd Akin said the Missouri senator’s behavior was more “ladylike” during her first run for the Senate.

“This is somebody who kind of makes Michele Bachmann look like a hippie,” McCaskill said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “He is very much in a group of people that would never be part of the compromise that we need to find to address the fiscal cliff. He would never be part of the group in the middle that actually thinks out ways to solve these problems.”

Akin, a six-term member of Congress, said McCaskill had more “confidence and was much more ladylike” in 2006 but thought “she came out swinging” in the pair’s debate last week because “she feels threatened.”

“I’m at a loss,” McCaskill said. “I don’t know exactly what his accusation that I’m not ladylike means. I’m a former courtroom prosecutor, and I try to be strong and informed. I think the debate was tough for Todd because I went through the list of his very, very extreme positions.”

Republicans tried to force Akin out of the race last month, after he falsely claimed women’s bodies have ways to prevent pregnancies in the case of “legitimate rape.” However, Akin has hung on, and national Republicans are now reluctantly backing him.

Akin sounded filthy and depraved in his tone of voice. I turned to the television to see if it was a story about some kind of perverted stalker and it was Akin saying he and McCaskill have had some good times together. Man that was creepy.

I don't know that it's any of her responsibility to 'explain' Akin -- it IS her responsibility to explain why she totally ignored the will and opinions of the Missouri people in her votes of the last 6 years.

McCaskill plays it both ways -- the poor woman who's getting beat up by the crazy man.

In real life she's a go-for-the-throat politician. She is continuing to run ads against Akin with just shreds of facts -- in most states she'd be forced to remove them by the media -- but she gets a pass.

Learn more about McCaskill, about her past, her murdered ex-husband drug dealer, her mega-rich current husband who runs questionable hidden businesses in third-wold countries.

Ask about how she charged taxpayers with bills on her personal jet that were never taken during the past 4 years as US Senator (she's paid the money back, but only after she was found out).

Akin may not be the best US Senator candidate - but it's the one McCaskill picked herself through her unethical primary ads.

She is not the plain spoken, honest person she portrays on national TV. Look deeper.

If you're wondering why the polls don't show her "killing" Akin in the polls and you wonder why ... do a little research -- find out what the media in Missouri refuse to do.

Take notice NONE of the repuks in Congress right now are. American's really need to get reid of the repuks in Congress, serously, they really think their money is enouph to get them into Congress and they wont have to work. SAD what they (repuks) have done to this country very SAD and TRIFLIN.

McCaskill is facing the equivalent of an American Taliban masquerading as a holy man. This man's wife must be living under his iron control--but as a politicians wife still manages to show a smiling face in public.

The Reps tried to run from Akin, but deep down, the majority of the party agree with him 100%. It is their outdated, Bible clenching world view that drove me away from the party. I only wish there was a stong enough third party to break in to counteract these two radical parties we have today.

If Claire McCrackhead was not born to a wealthy family, she would be waiting tables at a truck stop outside of St Louis. She owul only be waiting tables becaue she is so butt ugly no one would pay to watch her dance on a stripper pole.

If you vote for both McCrackhead and Obama - you might be one of the biggest dumbazzes in history.

Akin would be a wrench in a machine that barely works anyway. Is Akin the true representative of today's GOP party? He's a 'Sinners of an Angry God' politician. That's where the GOP wants to be in 2012?
